00:00India's federal police have charged former RGKAR Medical College principal Sandip Ghosh
00:07with evidence linked to the rape and murder of a junior female doctor in Kolkata.
00:12The additional charge was made against Ghosh, who has been in police custody for a graft
00:16probe since September 2.
00:19On Saturday, the Central Bureau of Investigation also arrested Kolkata's Thala Police Station
00:24officer Abhijit Mondal for allegedly failing to protect the crime scene.
00:29The bureau said Ghosh and others allegedly delayed declaring the victim's death as well
00:34as filing a first information report, which led to the destruction of vital evidence.
00:41The case has triggered weeks of nationwide protests in the country.
00:59Ghosh resigned from his post at the college days after the incident became public.
01:14The arrests come after the appearance of the prime suspect and former police volunteer
01:18Sanjay Roy in court for the rape-murder of the 31-year-old victim who was found dead
01:24at her workplace last month.
01:26Authorities have also arrested two hospital supply vendors and a close aide of Ghosh.
01:32Despite tougher laws since the 2012 Delhi gang rape, activists say the Kolkata incident
01:38showed that the fight against sexual violence in India is still far from over.
